Pond House Café [CT]

Ate dinner here at Pond House Café this afternoon after a matinée at Theater Works.

They were fully booked but fit us in [called in but they didn't retrieve the message in their voice mail]. Next time will use Open Table as I always have luck with them.

Interesting wine list [local wines] and also bring your own with a corkage fee. We had a White Frost Chardonnay [$6.64], a Red Barn Red [$7.23] and two Imperial Porters [$6.15] for the four of us.

Biscuits with tarragon were brought to the table and were delicious. I and another had the Beef Brisket Sliders [$9.93]. Other entrées were the Crab Cake [$13.04] over a winter salad and a Vegetarian Tostada [$14.96] which came out cold, was sent back, was microwaved and ended up not the favorite at the table.

Two Cappuccinos [$2.35 each] and a Groupon Coupon of $21 [bought for $10] brought the total with a good tip to $20 a person.

bloginfo: Pond House Café is now in cahoots with Tango in Glastonbury. Will have to try the menu there.
